Masa, South End, Boston

We have been to Masa in the South End for dinner and enjoyed the crispy fish tacos ($6.95) and the Masa Burger with monterey jack, bacon, avocado and Guajillo Ketchup. The bar area is pretty awesome, spacious and decorative wrought iron on the walls. The bar has $1.00 tapas and half off combo tapas platters from 5-7pm evenings.

We decided go to Masa for brunch and enjoy the two course brunch menu for $7.95.
This brunch deal is available Saturday 10 am – 3:30 pm and Sunday 9 am – 11:30 am. The thick squares of corn bread were addictive with the soft butter and jams.

The caramelized plantain empanada was dusted in powdered sugar and some cinnamon. The thick empanada dough was lightly sweet and the inside plantain filling was very satisfying. It sat on a creamy sweetened butter that offset the dough.

We enjoyed the beautiful hues from Huevos Rancheros with queso cotija and red salsa ranchero, toasted tortillas and black beans topped with crema, served sunny side up $8.95. The deep yellow of the egg yolk and chopped tomato and onions. The combination of textures and flavors were delicious.
